ASI's annual ranking of the top 20 global adhesive and sealant manufacturers.

There is a lot of discussion these days in the automotive industry about self-driving technology in cars. I remember talking to an executive in the automotive industry over 10 years ago about driving on the Autobahn and using the self-driving technology that was available at that time. 

Solenoid valve production demonstrates improved processing stability when automated dispensing of two-component media replaces manual mixing and dosing.

Adhesives are ubiquitous in our lives, from the glue that holds smartphone parts together to the sealants that waterproof homes. 

High-performance adhesion technology is a significant factor in ensuring that medical health parameters can be easily monitored in real time without any location restraints. 

HMT Manufacturing produces hot-melt adhesives and laminating systems that join almost any material, such as fabric, wood, melamine, foil and cork, to virtually any substrate including plywood, polystyrene, rubber, steel, and foam.

The ability to produce heat-sealable packaging via two separate pathways allows converters the flexibility to customize their package, increase production efficiencies, differentiate themselves in the market, and increase supply security.

In an ever-evolving industrial landscape, advances in material technology are crucial to meet growing demands. Double-sided adhesive tapes are increasingly coming into focus as indispensable components across various industries. 

Three eco-friendly adhesives products were honored with the 2024 ASC Innovation Awards at this year’s ASC Annual Convention & Expo. 

Manufacturers should work to reduce materials, energy consumption, and inefficiencies to improve their carbon footprint and achieve the triple bottom line.
